Case Study: GHD achieves faster app performance and better network visibility with Riverbed

Ghd boosts collaboration for 8,500 employees with Riverbed

GHD, a global professional services company with over 8,500 employees, faced significant challenges in enabling collaboration for its geographically dispersed teams. Their need to manage more than 3,000 applications, including CAD and 3D modeling tools, was hampered by poor network performance and a previous solution that corrupted data. This risked project deliveries and hindered the productivity of their dispersed professionals.

Riverbed addressed these challenges with its Application Performance Platform, including SteelHead optimization and SteelCentral NPM solutions. This implementation provided GHD with greater network visibility for faster troubleshooting and optimized application performance. The results included greatly improved staff productivity and morale, virtually eliminated risk to project delivery, and enabled teams to collaborate easily across long distances as if they were side-by-side.
